Aston Villa vs Nottingham Forest LIVE: Latest score and updates from Europa League semi-final – UK Times

‘15: Close! Buendia charges away but with Dominguez closing him down he blasts an attempt away and it’s a comfortable low save for Ortega.

‘13: McGinn’s corner doesn’t reach Torres as Igor Jesus gets to it first. Behind for a third successive Villa corner. It’s deep, Ortega punches it away, Villa recycle and it’s mayhem in the box but eventually sent clear.

Another good cross by McGinn, headed away brilliantly by Morato!

‘12: Watkins gets away from Milenkovic and sits him down, but can’t find space in the box as a Forest defender flings out a leg. Villa have a corner… Ortega tips Torres’ header over the bar!

‘9: Superb ball forward by McAtee and Hutchinson has his man on toast, cutting inside and curling a lovely attempt goalward – but narrowly bends it wide!

Now Pau Torres makes the block as Wood marauds into the box. End to end.

‘9: In the other semi-final, Braga, who lead 2-1 going into this leg, have already had a man sent off! Mario Dorgeles is the unfortunate making his exit.

Cash bundles over Williams and Emery is very displeased that his team are penalised for it.

‘7: Gleeful jeers as Hutchinson mistimes a pass and it’s an easy collect for Martinez.

‘4: Milenkovic and Williams have some defending to do and the latter brings a smart stop to Watkins’ move.

McGinn delivers a sweet free-kick from incredibly deep towards Konsa at the far post – Konsa’s under pressure from Cunha and the makeshift right-back gets the clearance, a crucial stop.

‘1: McGinn tries to get Villa off to a quick start, but overhits his cross and the ball goes behind for a Forest goal-kick.

Plenty of booing as Forest form a huddle around their travelling fans before kick-off, with Martinez running over to tell them to get a move on. Nice bit of needle already.
